Healthy gums are an important component of a beautiful smile and overall health. If you are suffering from gum disease you are not alone. Gum disease, is an oral infection that affects nearly half the adult population. Unfortunately, it is also the leading cause of tooth loss but it doesn't have to be.
Periodontal diseases are infections of the gums, which gradually destroy the supporting structures (gums and bone) of your natural teeth. Dental plaque is the primary cause of gum disease in susceptible individuals. Bacteria found in plaque produce toxins or poisons, which irritate the gums. They may cause them to turn red, swell and bleed easily.
After Dr. Hapak has completed periodontal treatment, your periodontal disease is under control. She will then provide you with a personalized maintenance program of care to keep your gums healthy. Maintenance therapy is an ongoing program designed to prevent disease in the gum tissues and bone supporting your teeth.

Tooth grinding or bruxism, is a serious issue that can result in damage to your teeth, poor sleep patterns and soreness in the muscles of the face and neck, not to mention an unhappy spouse. Fortunately, this problem can normally be corrected with the use of a dental night guard. Night guards look much like a sports mouth-guard, but are specially designed to prevent muscle tension and withstand the intense pressure exerted by tooth grinders.
